Buju Banton Mistrial

Buju Banton

After 3 days of deliberating, the jury in the trial for Reggae Singer Buju Banton could not reach an verdict.

The court saw a hung jury, when the jurors announced that they could not all agree on the same verdict. After hearing that the jurors did not believe they would be able to come to an agreement, United States Judge Jim Moody declared a mistrial in the case against Banton.

The next trial for the drug charges against Buju Banton will begin sometime in December, and his defense attorney David Markus is confident he can get a “not guilty” verdict when it begins.

After the mistrial was declared, the reggae singer turned around and said “Thanks, everyone…. Love you, too”

Banton has a new album releasing tomorrow called, “Before The Dawn”. It can currently be purchased on Amazon.com.

    If there is evidence that he took illegal drugs, then he is guilty. It does not matter what country you are from. Even white American people get jailed for it, take for example Lindsay Lohan.

    How are you going to compare L Lohan situation to Buju Banton’s?…There is a marked difference when someone is entrapped into a situation vs willfully and consciously taking illegal drugs. Somehow i really believe that L Lohan isnt facing 25 years to life ..Did Buju get a second chance at freedom with a slap on the wrist as did Lohan…She continues to show that she will not deter from her behavior. She is just one of many “celebrities” who are afforded above the law rights (and its not a privilege either)
